Jiang Hexing left the hospital.
Meanwhile, Li Yuanci, the moment she was gone, immediately made a phone call. Before long, five or six young men around his age filed into his hospital room.
“Damn, Yuan-ge, what the hell happened to you?”
“Who’s got the guts to lay a hand on you?”
The young men chattered all at once, while Li Yuanci lounged lazily against the hospital bed. His long, slender eyelids lifted slightly, and his tone carried a hint of languor: “First thing.”
“I got ambushed by a bunch of scum in that alley on Minhui Road today. Go pull the surveillance footage from that street for me.”
As he spoke, a sharp, icy glint flashed through his phoenix eyes: “I want them to wish they were dead!”
The young men’s expressions turned serious.
But before they could say anything, Li Yuanci continued: “Second thing.”
“Check the surveillance and find the girl who brought me to this ward. I want her complete file within a day.”
A smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he slipped back into his lazy, roguish demeanor.
The young men grinned along with him, curiosity written all over their faces—
“Yuan-ge’s got a new target?”
“That girl must be pretty good-looking!”
“Hahahaha, don’t worry, Yuan-ge. You won’t even need a day—give me half a day, and I’ll find her for you!”
“Don’t scare her off,” Li Yuanci said. “She’s not like other girls. Once you find her file, bring it to me first. Don’t go bothering her, got it?”
Oh?
Yuan-ge actually had a soft spot for the fairer sex?
The young men’s eyes lit up, all of them growing curious about the Jiang Hexing they had never met.
…
But in reality, they would never find Jiang Hexing’s file.
To be precise, they would never obtain her true information.
Jiang Hexing had gone abroad at thirteen. By that age, she had already graduated high school and gone on to university in Country D. In just three years, she had completed her entire curriculum.
At Dels College in Country D, she was nothing short of a legend.
And when she returned to the country, she had already asked her mentor to seal her records. The reason was simple—she wanted to experience a different kind of life.
Wang Ande, the principal of Laiga Academy, was a friend of her mentor. He knew exactly how exceptional she was, and this time, he had invited her to Laiga Academy to boost the school’s college admission rates.
However, due to the special circumstances, she had entered the academy as a specially recruited student, so to outsiders, she appeared to be nothing more than a top-performing student from the countryside.
Jiang Hexing arrived at the Wang residence carrying gifts.
The Wang family lived in Xihu Bay, a rather upscale villa district. Before coming, she had already called Wang Ande.
Wang Ande came to the door quickly.
The moment he saw Jiang Hexing, a delighted smile broke across his face: “Hexing! Come in, come in!”
“Uncle Wang.”
Jiang Hexing offered a shy smile and followed Wang Ande into the villa.
The Wang family was an old, established clan in A City—a sprawling family with many members involved in all sorts of fields, though most were in politics, giving them considerable weight in the city.
As such a family, they naturally had a Child of Fortune as well.
The Wang family’s Child of Fortune was Wang Ande’s son, Wang Suizhi. However, he didn’t seem to be home at the moment.
Jiang Hexing placed the gift on the coffee table and said to Wang Ande with a smile, “Uncle Wang, I know you like tea, so I specially brought you a tea set. I hope you like it.”
“You didn’t have to bring a gift when you came!”
Although Wang Ande said that, he opened the gift box and saw the tea set inside. A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on his face. “This tea set seems to be from Master Aier of Country D?”
With that, he picked up the teacup and examined it.
Seeing this, Jiang Hexing smiled faintly. “Yes, when I was about to graduate, I helped Master Aier with a small favor, so he gave me this tea set as a thank-you gift.”
“But I don’t really understand this kind of thing, so I thought I’d bring it back for you.”
“You’re really too thoughtful.”
Wang Ande was grinning from ear to ear. He and Jiang Hexing had only met once in Country D, yet she had remembered his preferences.
This feeling of being kept in someone’s thoughts was simply wonderful.
Wang Ande was overjoyed. Just as he was about to say something, the villa’s front door opened again, and a tall young man walked in from the entrance.
The young man was extremely handsome, with thick, slightly curly black hair, deep-set eyes beneath a high nose bridge, and thin lips that gave him a cold, stern look.
He wore a black-and-white tracksuit, making him appear both relaxed and refined.
“Suizhi, you’re back.”
Wang Ande’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Come over here quickly and get to know Hexing properly.”
Wang Suizhi looked up and saw a girl of striking beauty sitting on the sofa. She had extremely bright eyes and was currently looking at him with curiosity.
“Hexing, this is my youngest son, Wang Suizhi. He’s three years older than you. He also attended Laiga Academy before. Once you enter Laiga Academy, he can be considered your senior.”
So,
he was Wang Suizhi.
She still remembered that in her previous life, as soon as she entered Laiga Academy, she had heard his name. He had created one myth after another at Laiga Academy that no one could break. She had been extremely curious about him.
Unfortunately…
In her previous life, she had died too early and never got to see this legend.
It seemed her luck was quite good today.
Jiang Hexing pressed her lips into a smile, the smile carrying a hint of shyness. “Suizhi-gege.”
“Hello, I’m Wang Suizhi.”
Wang Suizhi smiled faintly at Jiang Hexing. His smile was polite with a touch of distance, just like him as a person.
“Hurry up and come over.”
Wang Ande beckoned him, his expression somewhat excited, as if some little scheme had formed in his mind.
Wang Suizhi felt somewhat helpless.
But he still obediently walked over.
Wang Ande was quite satisfied and then had the two of them exchange contact information.
He still remembered the instructions from Jiang Hexing’s mentor, so he said, “Hexing is the daughter of a friend from my hometown. She just arrived in City A today, so you need to take good care of her.”
“By the way, I remember you’re currently doing research on artificial intelligence, right?”
“Hexing is also a super academic star and has done research on artificial intelligence too. Maybe you two can discuss it together sometime.”
Wang Suizhi: …
Too lazy to pay attention to his father’s crazy talk, he directly handed his phone to Jiang Hexing and smiled politely at her. “You can contact me if you need anything. I’ll reply whenever I’m free.”
His voice was pleasant.
And his words were pleasant too.
But the Favorability Rating didn’t increase at all.
Jiang Hexing curved her eyes into a smile. “Alright, Suizhi-gege.”
“Then from now on, I’ll be counting on you to take good care of me, Suizhi-gege.”
